Examples

The following example shows the use of this property.

XNamespace ns = "http://www.adventure-works.com";
XElement root = new XElement(ns + "Root", "content");
Console.WriteLine(root.Name);
Console.WriteLine(root.Name.LocalName);
Console.WriteLine(root.Name.Namespace);

Imports <xmlns="http://www.adventure-works.com">

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim root As XElement = <Root/>
        Console.WriteLine(root.Name)
        Console.WriteLine(root.Name.LocalName)
        Console.WriteLine(root.Name.Namespace)
    End Sub
End Module
